New website!! New photos!!Check it out: averylocklear.com - I’ve been doing photography for almost half my life and it’s amazing to see how my skills have progressed throughout my work. Thank you to all the supporters I’ve gained over the years. You’re why I keep going.
Couldn’t get enough of these guys. | ©@averylocklearphoto • @glaciernps, Montana; USA
The bighorn sheep were absolute posers. These guys were not shy at all, unfortunately because they’ve gotten used to tourists feeding them. Don’t feed the animals, keep wildlife wild! | ©@averylocklearphoto • @glaciernps, Montana; USA
This Glacier grizzly was spotted on the east side of the park, searching for grub after what looks like a brief dip in the water. | ©@averylocklearphoto • @glaciernps, Montana; USA * (This photo was taken with a telephoto lens while inside a car, just before the bear crossed the road. Always keep a safe distance from wildlife, for their benefit and yours, and report roadside bears. #bebearaware)
Another feature of Trail of the Cedars is this small turquoise tributary, stemming from Avalanche Creek and Avalanche Lake. | ©@averylocklearphoto • @glaciernps, Montana; USA
Day 2 included a walk along Trail of the Cedars. A forest of red cedars, ferns and mosses, it is reminiscent of a Pacific Northwest landscape. Trillium were beginning to bloom, like this one with a slight purple color. The trail should be teeming with them soon. | ©@averylocklearphoto • @glaciernps, Montana; USA
On day 1 of 3 in Glacier National Park, we saw a grizzly almost immediately. This particular bear was radio collared for monitoring. After backtracking two hours later, we saw him again in a field adjacent to our first sighting. For 45 minutes we watched as the bear rooted around for some grub. At one point the deer in the center wandered into view, and if you look closely, you can also see a ground squirrel perked up in between them. | ©@averylocklearphoto • @glaciernps, Montana; USA
Super fun watching this grizzly root around in @glaciernps this afternoon!
I had so much fun shooting the @montanastateuniversity Spring Rodeo last night for the @msuexpo. Here are a few highlights!
